Remember when windows 10 was going to be the last version of windows? Did I have a stroke, or was that not really a thing? I assumed it would essentially be like arch Linux. No versions, it just updates.

That is good to know. The app is a pain for sure. We have to log back into like twice a week for some reason. And I think regular cruise is going to be harder and harder to find

Yeah, about what I expected on all that! I've heard good things all around, but haven't gotten in one to test drive yet. I might pm you later with specific questions that might be hard to find answers to online, if that's ok.

Regarding the ev9: it's a totally fine vehicle overall, but it has a ton of small shit that makes it aggravating to someone who actively drives/plays attention. It's a perfect vehicle for passive drivers or people who don't like driving.

With that said, here's a non-exhaustive list of little shit that adds up to me loathing this vehicle.

• Paddles to adjust the regen-braking is awesome, except it reverts the setting any time you shift gears (d-r-d for example) not a huge deal, but it's fucking annoying when you expect it to come to a complete stop because you set it to max regen, but it lurches forward into an intersection.
• no option to use regular cruise control, it only has adaptive. Adaptive is fine in limited circumstances, but I vastly prefer a static speed for a number of reasons.
• no button by the charge port to disconnect the charger/stop charging. Some chargers have it build into the handles, others don't. That means you have to get in the car and manually stop charging.
• the drive settings revert too. Put it in sport mode and went to dinner? Nah, you're in regular now. Snow mode in the winter? Nah, got to pick it every time you get in for some reason.
• traction control: I have no idea why, but is it's remotely slippery, it fishtails constantly. I have a polestar 2 with AWD, and have driven dozens of other cars with no issues. This one for some reason feels like it's trying to kill you.
• there's no actual tow mode. It just disables a couple rear sensors. When you pull a trailer and try to change lanes, it still thinks something is there and tries to prevent to lane change.
• car wash mode is a fucking endeavor. Just put it in neural like any other vehicle? Fuck no, you have to disable like 3 things otherwise it forces the parking brake to go on
• there's seemingly no way to lock the vehicle without having the keys on you. Just open the door, hit lock and close the door you say? Lol nope, it keeps it unlocked in case you didn't mean to lock it or something.

I'm certain there's more, my list keeps changing, so I can't recall most of it without running into it again. There is a lot to like, charging speed is solid for road trips, efficiency is good for an SUV, interior is nice, all the options are really nice. None of that matters to me if the actual driving experience is a battle every time though

That's awesome! I have a year left on my lease of a wretched ev9, I can't wait to drop it and switch over. Give us a detailed review if you can!

I would say that the best os/distro is the one you're comfortable with. With that said, I would really iron out why you want to switch, like what you're looking for. Stability? Debian. Newest features asap? Arch. Mix? Fedora. General support? Probably any of them, but fedora or Debian if you want properly supported packages and not rely on the AUR. (You can use any of the derivatives, but I can't say they do anything special for me, so I stick to the core distros)

Like some others said, I also generally liked windows for a long time. I liked 7, was concerned about 10, but that was generally ok. 11 compared to 10 is complete trash and I jumped to Linux. After using Linux daily for a few years, any time I have to touch my windows work laptop, it's a really frustrating and tedious experience. The file explorer takes like 30-45 seconds to actually open and be usable, and the updates are so fucking long for no reason and happen at the worst times. There's more, but those are the two I deal with as I try to touch it as minimally as possible nowadays

I bought a pair of 6 ah off brand makita batteries about a year ago, mostly to use in the kids power wheels instead of my good ones. They're still kicking I'm pretty impressed. I might have gotten lucky though, part of the lower cost is less quality assurance I imagine, so more of a dice roll to get decent ones.

Another user chiming in!

Accuracy in labels mostly

Go back and forth too tbh. I have times where I just use the plans and just push whatever I can and record it, other times I just stay in the history and just add what I know to be my plan. It definitely works, but could be better

100%. I'm tired and didn't want to really elaborate on the analogy lol

In a vacuum, a label like non - stamp collector seems silly, until you add the context of the majority of the population are stamp collectors and push others to collect and make laws around stamp collecting. It starts to be a more meaningful label in that scenario.
